Shot in Leg by Accidental Discharge of Gun.

Will Van Cleave of Fair Oaks, while visiting his father, George Van Cleave, in Barkley tp., Monday, went out with his nephew, Ray List, a young man of about 19 to saw wood. List took a gun along, thinking they might run across a few rabbits, and just” before noon started back to the house. On the way they ran across the track of a rabbit-and in following it up, List stumbled and fell, the gun was discharged, shooting Van Cleave in the leg between the knee and hip. A doctor was immediately called and dressed the wound and it is thought the young man will get along all right unless other complications arise.
